It is so hard, very hard. In fact the just before and just after surgery is the worst. After that it is a time to delight in new meals, plans, and tastes. The only advice I can offer is to keep busy, really really busy! Good luck!!!!!

My advice would be to drink TONS of water. Whenever you get a hunger pang, Drink some water. It will keep you hydrated and stave off the hunger pains. At the same time, don't deprive yourself. Make sure you are having 3 "meals" per day or whatever guidelines your Dr gave you. This part is so tough but its sooooo important. Don't give up. You're Almost there!!!!!!

Thank you all! I thought it would be easy... I'm so excited but this is terrible! I haven't cheated tho. 6 days to go!

So far for me it is. I'm 3 weeks out, I'm 47 pounds lighter. way more energetic, and I can move better to keep up with my kiddo. Stairs are easier to climb, running doesn't hurt my knees anymore, and I'm no longer pre- diabetic. Plus I was already sexy as hell, but now I'm like "Bow chika bow bow" (that last part was a not so subtle opinion from my husband.) So yes ma'm IT is totally worth it!

Thanks! just tell me it'll be worth it!

Can I ask a dumb question? Why did you think it would be easy? If eating almost nothing was easy for me I wouldn't have gotten obese. Every diet I have ever tried has been hard for me because I am HUNGRY morning, noon, and night. Once I did Weight Watchers for a few months and lost about 40 pounds. This is the most success I have ever had with ANY diet. It is low calorie, but not super low. I woke up hungry, ate all I was allowed to eat all day long, was hungry all day, and went to bed hungry!

I am just surprised that other people who are large enough to be getting WLS have not had to deal with hunger. I think I was born hungry.

Touché ....maybe I should have said easier... sorry

I' right there with you. I am also sleeved Oct 3. I constanty want something to eat! Protein shakes just are not enough. I am cranky and have a raging headache...can't take advil which is my 'go to'. Plus today I had a totally stressful day, like a 9/10 on the stress level. I was thinking about how I used to eat crap on days like this. I'm glad I'm not... but this sucks! The striggle is real! 5 and a half more days. Good luck to you!!

I'm getting the sleeve on the 4th...the first and second day of the liquid diet was horrible!!!!... But I think a lot of it is mental... I miss food sooo much lol! Just keep your eyes on the prize...you can do it!

I didn't mean to sound mean, I honestly think there is something wrong with me. So many people talk about head hunger and emotional eating and eating because they are bored, etc. I am pre-surgery and I can tell you that I am physically hungry all the time. It isn't just in my head. My stomach growls, it feels empty. And it happens when I am not bored in the least. I didn't have a tough childhood and I am not an overly emotional person now. I have a pretty easy, happy life. I start every day thinking I am going to "eat healthy and do better" but by the middle of the afternoon I feel like I am going to faint with hunger. When I eat a healthy dinner (lean Protein, veggies, maybe even a small serving of healthy carbs) I get up from the table hungry. I meet friends for lunch and have a normal, healthy "lady" lunch. If we sit and talk for a couple of hours I leave the restaurant hungry. I hate it

Food is LOVE from my poor childhood with an alcoholic father and a loving Mother who made me Georgia dumplings, biscuits and gravy.
